| Summary |
Every day in Australia over 40,000 patients are in hospital. While medicine tends their bodies, hospital chaplains tend their souls. Over eight episodes we follow our chaplains' journeys alongside the patients and their families at three major hospitals. They are Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Jewish and Buddhist. Regardless of their faith, they all meet the same challenges - to help make sense of the mystery of illness, pain, suffering and despair. This series offers a unique bedside view of the daily life and death drama of hospital life through our chaplains' eyes. This week at St Vincent's Hospital in the heart of Sydney, Rocco's double lung transplant has taken him to death's door five times in the past six months. He and his devoted wife Elizabeth are firm favourites on Catholic Chaplain Father Laurie Christie's rounds. Their love for each other and deep faith humbles and inspires him in his work. Meantime, at Liverpool Hospital, Chaplain Hanh helps heal an old wound as a mother relives the traumatic story of the birth of her 'miracle' baby.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Narrator: Geraldine Doogue, Series Producer & Writer: Paul Hawker, Editor: Lile Judickas, Location Producers: Richard Corfield / Kim Akhurst/Wendy Boynton, Executive Producer: Rose Hesp |
